Escándalo (Romantic Stars) (Spanish Edition)
Contents:
I tried to read the first book from Haymore when it was released, but quit reading soon after I started. After the first scene, I felt like it was going to be erotica which isn't my cup of tea instead of historical romance. But this book never seemed over the top in that regard, so now I'm going to go back and give "A Hint of Wicked" another try.
Although, that book involves a love triangle with Garrett and I have a feeling I'm going to have a soft spot for him over the hero of that book. If you are in the mood for a sweeping, dramatic, 'true love conquers all' type of story, I highly recommend this one. It really stands out from the crowd.

Is it not to late for that mister? Will Kate be late? The first five pages I was like 'Oh now! I hope Kate will tell Garret! And after all the drama in the nick of time we come to the next point that blew my mind e The paternity. Why do we not know the paternity of the kid? We know Willy was reckless. Why are we even talking about this? Why was it not just written that it is the wackos kid and then Kate, as his sister, could take it?
I am drowning in angst! That was just mean. The author might have just walked all over Garret. I mean was there any other way in which she could have took more from him? He was in Belgium with a woman that was paid to keep him there and away from his family and kid because.. Because of a crazy person? Sure, he now has Kate. But man oh man…all the stuff he has been trough! All that love in the air. All of it so natural This is the reason I hated the ending in book 1. There is no way it would have been so clean. Not even in a fairytale. Sophie being all happy because Garret has somebody?
What woman would be ok with this? How can she be stone cold about Kate? Or about the kid that may or may not be his? Do not get these books if you are not really in to some heavy drama. And at that, drama that would never be there if not for crazy bi-polar twin that wanted revenge for no reason what so ever. A crazy bi-polar twin that wanted revenge. All that is missing is the evil stepmother.

And maybe some makeovers. All in all it is almost as good as the typical plot of Latin American soaps. Mar 25, Cinnamon rated it it was amazing Shelves: Just like that, Jennifer Haymore has once again caught my attention and left me completely captivated. Admittedly I was a little nervous about reading this book. Well Just like that, Jennifer Haymore has once again caught my attention and left me completely captivated. Haymore puts them in and the way she develops the story. Our hero of this story is on a mission to hunt down his enemy and attempt to rescue a young girl whose reputation is on the line.
Heart-broken and practically destroyed, our hero is fairly single minded in his anger until one beautiful sight stops him in his tracks. Kate, a beautiful and alluring servant girl draws our hero in like a moth to a fire. Hardly expecting his heart to ever mend, our hero is shocked when he finds himself drawn to her. Just as our hero finds himself inexplicably drawn to Kate, this lovely girl finds herself falling for him.
Class and status issues aside, secret kisses and stole caresses find their way between the two. Everything could fall apart however when our hero discovers that his beautiful Kate is in fact the sister of his enemy. This is the kind of story that gives you goose bumps and has you reading early into the morning simply to find out what happens next. We love our hero and Kate. We want them to be together but Ms. Her talent is in creating a wonderful story that is as much a work of art as it is an addiction. A Hint of Wicked lived on in my mind for months after reading the book and I have no doubt that this story will follow suit.
Her ability to reach out and stir our emotions around is fantastic and something that really makes her a wonderful author. Oct 14, Elizabeth rated it it was amazing Shelves: Feb 24, Mandi Schreiner rated it liked it. I received the book for review from the publisher. Every day on her three mile walk home from work, she sees this delectable man bathing in a pond. It has become the highlight of her day, after working as a maid to her brother William and his wife Rebecca.
All is not how it seems however. Her brother eloped with Rebecca four months a Why I read: Her brother eloped with Rebecca four months ago, and is living way beyond his means. Rebecca has no idea Kate is her sister in-law. Kate goes along with the charade because she has a sickly brother who lives with their mother, and she is able to go home to him every night, giving him the care he needs as his mother pretty much ignores him. While watching this man one evening, she is caught, and comes face to face with him.
She learns his name is Garrett, but nothing else about him. He is very handsome and her attraction goes full force. Garrett reciprocates this attraction, even though she is in a dirty dress. He is on a mission to find William and kill him. William blames Garrett for the death of his twin brother eight years ago and held him captive and basically tortured him for many years after his death. Garrett came back with no memories and a wife who presumed he was dead and remarried someone else.
Kate is now torn between being loyal to her family or trusting this man she just met. As the truth is slowly revealed, Kate, Rebecca and Garrett realize life has much in store for them.

I have mixed feelings about A Touch of Scandal. The first half of the book has quite an adventurous feel and I enjoyed the secrets and prisoner held captive scenario. When Kate and Garrett meet, they have such inherent trust in each other. Garrett even mentions he has to keep his guard up while seeking William and then foolishly makes out and seduces Kate in the open, while not even knowing who she is.

They just became very familiar very quickly. What would it feel like to lose herself with him? Once Kate discovers who Garrett really is, she is not so eager to jump into his arms. He must convince her true love really exists, and here is where I started to fall for the characters.
Now, her mother is quite a despiteful person and only shows love for William and his deceased brother.
I had no problems with Kate getting away from her, but throughout the beginning she preaches how important family is to her no matter what dirty deeds they have done in the past. Near the end of the book, she waltzes back into her life like nothing happened. A Touch of Scandal has high and low points for me.
Putting aside their immediate feelings, I recommend for the eventual journey Garrett and Kate travel. Num acesso de muita bravura, Lady Rebecca, ou Becky, salva o casal. View all 7 comments. Mar 30, Bookaholics rated it it was amazing. In the first book, A Hint of Wicked, 2 men vie for the love of 1 woman. Garrett the Duke of' Carlton returns home after years of amnesia to find his young wife, Sophie has remarried to his best friend! Unfortunately, Sophie and Garrett have changed and Sophie finds she is really in love with his friend Tristan. Rejected, his hopes dashed, Garrett was a very sympathetic character.
I was really excited to read Garrett's story since I loved him in the first novel, and at times I wanted Sophie to pick him instead of Tristan. But you don't have to read the first novel before reading this one, because this story easily stands alone. However, it was especially interesting to me because I read the first book and was thrilled to read his story.
This second book is very different from the first, it focuses on the typical forbidden love story that we have all heard before: Though that does happen with Kate and Garrett, the addition of plot twists with past mistresses, and ex-wives makes this story a page-turner. You can't help but enjoy a classic forbidden love story when it is done well, which is the case with Jennifer Haymore's strong second novel.
If you like historical novels with good plot twists similar to Nicole Jordan and Amanda Quick, this up and coming author is a wonderful choice. I give this novel 5 stars. I loved the first-rate twist on a classic story, a happy ending that had to be earned, and some evil villains that we love to hate. Mar 26, Kathleen rated it liked it. As I read this book, I was not quite sure of what I thought. There were parts that I did not like, parts that I did and some parts that I loved. Would I tell anyone they had to read this book?
No I would not. But over all I did like it enough to want to read the next book in the series, A Season Of Seduction. View all 3 comments. Apr 11, Teechbiz rated it liked it. I'm so excited about this book. I can't wait to begin reading. Amargurado e magoado, deseja vingar-se do homem que o destruiu. Em suma, neste livro houve partes que gostei muito e outras que nem tanto.
Mesmo assim, valeu a pena e, por isso, vou continuar a seguir esta serie. Jan 24, Jen rated it it was amazing Shelves: I received a copy of this book to review. It is being released on March 30th. Jennifer Haymore is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. With her elegant descriptions and heart-tugging plot lines, I can't say enough good things.
He's on the hunt for William Fisk, the man who stole his life and fortune for eight years. He's out for revenge and has no intention of stopping until he gets it. K I received a copy of this book to review. Katherine Fisk is William's sister and nothing like her wayward sibling. She's unladylike, brash, unconventionally beautiful, and completely devoted to her little brother Reggie. Her life consists of work, Reggie, and her mother.
Unaware of William's ulterior motives, she works for he and his wife, Lady Rebecca. Lady Rebecca is the duke's sister, and she isn't aware of Kate's relationship to her husband. William has kept it a secret. When Kate is walking home one night from her job, she comes across Garrett bathing in a pool. The pool is her secret place, and she is stunned to find someone else there. When she is discovered by Garrett, they feel an immediate connection--as if they were two souls searching for one another their whole lives. One of the reasons I'm so enthralled with this book is the classic "love at first sight" plot.
Often, in romance, we see the hero and heroine entirely at odds with one another until a relationship begins to develop. In Garrett and Kate's case, the relationship is there from the start. They are, however, fraught with complications but determined to find their way back to one another. I highly recommend this book if you like sexy, sweet romance. It made me smile more than once. A good historical romance adventure.
Mar 25, Freda Mans-Labianca rated it liked it. This book to me was a lot like most romances. There was a bit of suspense, they met and ravaged each other, fell madly in love and then had a family. Not much out of the ordinary really, but still entertaining. This is one of those books that you read on a rainy day. You can easily get lost in the story, and will find it a fairly easy read. There were a few new words to me, but I enjoy learning and looking words up.
All in all, not bad, not great. Jan 14, Ermione Pickwick rated it really liked it.

However, it wasn't until seven years later that they find out that Garrett never actually died, but was living as a farmer in Belgium because he has no memories of his life as an English Duke.
As soon as his memories return, he high-tails it back to England to reclaim his life and his wife. Imagine the shock of finding that she married his best friend. Let the games begin Sophie and Garrett are not able to reconcile their marriage after so many years apart and at the end of this novel, Garrett finds himself in the midst of a scandalous divorce. Now begins HIS story Garrett is becoming reacquainted with the life and responsibilities of a Duke while mourning the loss of his marriage and looking for his enemy; the man responsible for the seven years of life that he lost.
While searching for him in the countryside, he comes across a hidden pond that he enjoys swimming in. During one of his evening swims, he spies a girl watching him. He confronts her and is captivated by her. Despite her lowly appearance, she's lovely and has a smile that could light up a room. Kate spotted the mysterious man a few weeks ago and is completely mesmerized by him.
She has never seen anyone more beautiful and she finds herself rushing home after "work" to watch him swim in the buff - naughty girl! A Touch of Scandal focuses on the forbidden love between Garrett and Kate However, this book is so much more than a love story when you consider the evil villain who tries to kill Garrett along with others , the betrayal of an ex-lover, and the stigma of rank.
There wasn't a single thing I didn't love about this story. This historical romance is filled with love, passion, deception, scandal and most importantly, the loyalty of family. And if you haven't read either one, get your booty to your local bookstore and get them both! Jul 25, Sandy M rated it it was amazing Shelves: And best of all, I like this latest book even more than her first.
Of course, Garrett is a favorite since we met him in AHoW. Having lost the love of his life to his cousin, he sets off on a return journey to the woman he thinks might soothe his broken heart.
I really like Kate. She intrigued me from the moment she wants to leave her maid position early to get down to her secret lake where he has been bathing and lounging for the last week. Looking for the bastard who betrayed him, stole so many years of his life, and was the impetus for losing Sophie, Garrett is closing in on William Fisk. But a little side affair with a willing and beautiful woman just might be in order.
They enjoy some time together before betrayal is upon him again. Both Garrett and Kate are thrown together in a set of cruel circumstances. At one point I did want to shake her and yell at her to wake up, smell the coffee and the roses, woman, leave those idiots behind and be happy with your man. Thank goodness she does see light.
I just wish it had come sooner. Just when you think things are settling down and these two will finally have some peace to get to know one another better, well, you get wumped up the side of the head for thinking that. We get to see how Garrett finally takes care of his people when given the chance and not ostracized for his past behavior. Her book is next and I look forward to her finally finding some happiness.

A Touch of Scandal started off with a bang: Kate Fisk is leaving her employer's house to go watch a naked man bathe!!! Kate is the daughter of a servant, and her current employer is actually her brother William and his new wife, Rebecca. William has married "up" and doesn't want Rebecca to know his true station. He can't afford a bunch of servants so Kate works for them. It is while walking from her brother's home to her own that she comes across a beautiful man bathing in a small lake. Sin A Touch of Scandal started off with a bang: Since that first view, she's taken to looking for him on her way home, hoping to get another peek.
He sees her watching, and surprises her. He tells her only that his name is Garrett, and they almost instantly feel a connection. They agree to meet again the next day, where their passion for each other is expressed in a physical way. Garrett, Duke of Calton, has been searching for William. William and Garrett are sworn enemies, but Garrett doesn't know Kate is William's sister. William holds Garrett responsible for the death of his twin and has made it his mission to make Garrett's life miserable in every way imaginable; this includes eloping with Garrett's sister and taking him prisoner in order to torture him.
Things come to a head and Kate ends up living in Garrett's home, surprised he's a duke, loving him although she knows she cannot. When Garrett's former mistress shows up, days away from having his baby, Kate knows what she must do. This book had so many twists and turns, I was turning the pages to find out what was next! The storyline was not what I thought it would be - I love when that happens!
From Kate's "mystery man" to William's and Garrett's enmnity, from Kate's awful mother to Garrett's snobby aunt, and between Garrett's ex-wife and his ex-mistress, the storyline had me wondering what else Kate was going to have to deal with before she got her well-deserved HEA. What I didn't care for was the "instant attraction" between Kate and Garrett. In a paranormal romance - oh, yeah, I love the instant attraction! Not in a historical romance. It was almost immediate that they couldn't live without each other.
I think that with everything going on in the book Ms. Haymore would not have had a problem making the attraction a bit more gradual. Haymore's next story in this series, A Season of Seduction, is about Garrett's sister Rebecca - can she find love after William crushed her heart so badly?

Taking a deep breath, she forcefully slowed her step, squared her shoulders, and lowered her eyes.
She was simply a servant, finished with her duties for the day, ready to take the 3 mile walk home. Not a flustered woman rushing out to a secret secluded spot to watch a strange man — no a god, more like — bathe in th From the opening paragraphs, I immediately knew I was in for a treat with A Touch of Scandal.
